TnE Harrisburg Pairio! points ont
mistake which Senator Sherman, the
selfstylcd presidential candidate and
bloody-shirt politician, made at the
recent Republican convention in Ohio,
and which is apt 10 break his neck
politically before he ever gets chance
at the nomination. The article re
ferred to says that in his speech uc-
cepting the presidency OF the Ohio re-
publican convention. Senator Sherman
recommended the nomination Of Gov
ernor Foraker, because that gentle
man had prevented the return Of the
rebel battle flags. The real reason
that Sherman wanted Foraker rcnom-
mated was in the fact that he had
sold his influence in that direction to
the Foraker crowd in consideration OF
an adoption of n resolution endorsing
himself for president His statement
TO the convention was therefore both
false and unpatriotic
But if Sherman had been sincere in
his desire to have Foraker renominat-
ed, the reason assigned was not one
that will be generally commended. As
the battle-nag matter is becoming
more generally understood the opposi-
ton to it is rapidly sLbsiding In
fact when the voice of the true soldier
has been heard it has always been in
favor of reconciliation, and the re-
union of the boys in blue and those in
gray in Gettysburg on the third of
July about ended the influence of the
malevalents in shaping the sentiments
of the survivors of the war.
The speech Of Mr. Sherman may be
accepted as indicating the ideas upon
which he proposes to appeal to the re
publicans for the presidential nomina-
ton. His battle flag is to be the
bloody shirt and upon an issue of per-
petual hate, sectional animositv and n
distracted country he asks TO be elect
ed to the presidency. These are not
likely to be popular issues by the time
the uext presidential contest is being
waged, and Sherman had better make
arrangements for the return Of his
own battle flag, rather than be prating
about those which belong TO tie sol
diers of both armies.

NkNr Tncsday,s convention

NENT Tuesdays convention ut
Belleronte will decide who shall be
the democratic candidates for the
county Offices, and as all candidates
now announced pledged themselves to
be "subicct to that declsion,' it Is no
more than may be expected that all
will abide by that decision. All the
candidates in the field have been ask
ing the support of democratic voters
under the colors of democracy and the
DELEGATES who shall make the nomina-
tions on next Tuesday are the Voice of
the democratic party in the county.
All the candidates have also expressed
their willingness 10 be satisfied with
the result Of said convention even if
the result should prove defeat to
themselves If we are not entirely
mistaken in tho candidates they are
all men Of their word, who will sup
port the regular nominee. The mat
ter of personal likes or dislikcs must
bo left aside and the democratic ticket
which shall be made by the democrat
ic convention must he voted for by all
pure democrats for the sake Of the
success OF the party at the fall election.
We hope none of the gentlemen outtor
Office will forget their pledges after
the convention and all democratic
voters will bear in mind that n house
divided against itself is sure to fall.
We think past experiences will bear
Us out in this assertion. \ word to

and before the flames were eXtin-
guished loss of Sl50,00O had been
caused. The fire started in the saw
mill of the works. Sixty men working
in the blacksmith shop adjoining made
their exit from the building barely in
time to save their lives. So rapidly did
the flames spread that within fifteen
minutes from the time the blaze started
the entire works, composed Of two
planning mills, machine shop saw mill,
bridge shop, storehouse and shaving
mill, were on fire.

Differing Views on the Republican show

Chinese-vaie Manning Riddl eberger
Boss of the senate.
WASHINGTON CITY, March iO-The Star
publishes the following gossip about a Sher-
man boom growing out of the senator's
southern trip:
The gossip in political quarters turns upon
the possibilities of the Sherman boom. His
trip to the south is conceded to be for the
purpose of giving the boom a chance to de-
velop quickly under the Influence of the
warm southern sun Messrs Malone and
John ID. Wise express the opinion that John
Sherman can carry the state Of Virginia,
both at the nominating convention and att
erwards, as to its electoral vote. The Ohio
chieftain himself expresses the opinion that
the solid south may be divided in the ne 1t
presidential contest His friends say that
during this trip he will throw himself
among the southern people and dispel the
erroneous impression that he has no warmth
in his composition. They expect him to thaw
out in the south and gain much in popular
ity. They confidently expect that he will
get the support of the delegates of several
Of the southern states in the convention.
The Blaine men say they are not afraid Of
Mr. Sherman Representative Brady, who
was Mahone's first lieutenant for so long, and
who has been Republican leader in Vir-
ginia longer than has Malone, does not
agree with him that the state could be car
ried by the Ohio man Blaine, he SAYS, can
carry Virginia against any one the Demo.
